it is very nice to have a dog in the house again. one of the highlights is the bedtime grunt-sigh after a hard day's work of loafing about

I see the video of Pastor Black is going around and I just want to call attention to how other protestors immediately surround him, check on him, and protect him from subsequent fire. When you read DHS press demonizing protestors, remember that.

Finally felt like fall today in Chicago.

A scattering of sea gulls flies off into the horizon over Lake Michigan as the sun sets on the north side of Chicago. A small observation tower at the end of a pier rises over the green grass and gold flowers in the foreground.

Looks like temps will be dropping this week. Check out my guide if you want some tips on dressing to ride in the cooler weather. Might be a good refresher, even for experienced all-weather cyclists!

If you were chilly riding in to work this morning, it might be a good day to check out my guide for dressing for the weather on a bike. My site also has a printable template for keeping notes on what you wore and how it felt if you want to create your own! allweeksend.neocities.org/Guide

I just hate what algorithmic and "story" style social media has done to people's understanding of stuff. everything appears without context, it's just a smoothie of ✨content✨

Laur-eeeeee😱 (spooky scream) @laurie-merrell.bsky.social · 18h

yeah, I'm so frustrated by how insta works. so many features that make it actively hostile to sharing useful info and yet it's a primary source for so many 🫠

like the salt truck story -- it was just such a fundamental misunderstanding of what the local government would even consider doing, and it makes it hard to urge people to take action if they think the government is protecting them in ways it simply is not

yeah what I meant is just that The Triibe seems to have the best strategy for insta-specific content that works well in that medium. I have been urging folks on insta to follow Unraveled but I think they by necessity have to link out more

Laur-eeeeee😱 (spooky scream) @laurie-merrell.bsky.social · 19h

yeah @thetriibe.com is doing the Lord's work on insta. the culture over there is definitely different, I don't think the format really well supports the OTG live posting (because of how non chronological / mixed together everything is)

this is also where individuals can add their own context -- now insta allows links in stories from anyone, you can screenshot content from elsewhere and add links. you can also add your own summary, noting the similarities between the Brighton Park and Franklin Park shootings and fed narratives
